In addition to Figueiredo, former deputy secretary Caroline Campos Dobes Conturbia Neves should also be heard on the same date. The summons of the two had already been previously approved by the CPI and, this Wednesday, the members confirmed the date for the testimonies.

The summoning of the former secretary marks a new stage in the commission's work. As informed during the meeting, the CPI began hearings with technicians from the State Comptroller General's Office (CGE), went through representatives from the State Attorney General's Office (PGE) and, currently, concludes the phase of testimonies from businesspeople. From the 26th, the investigation progresses to the hearing of public agents.

Gilberto Figueiredo was also formally informed about his status as being investigated within the scope of the CPI. The document, dated August 5, informs that this condition is related to the facts included in the object of the investigation, involving the management of the State Department of Health, in addition to contracts, expenses and administrative acts analyzed by the commission.

For next Wednesday (19), the CPI confirmed the hearings of Luiz Gustavo Castilho Ivoglo, Osmar Gabriel Chemin and Gabriel Naves Torres Borges, linked to MedTrauma. The three businessmen had already been summoned previously, and the commission only defined the date of attendance at this meeting.

According to information presented, the CPI intends to question businesspeople about business carried out with the State Department of Health, including payments made in an indemnity manner. The contracts, expenses and administrative procedures related to these operations are part of the set of information analyzed by the commission.

The CPI also organized the September calendar. For the 2nd, hearings are scheduled for Onaira Zevedo Nogueira, former director of the Cáceres Regional Hospital, and Elizandro de Sousa Nascimento, former director of the Colíder Regional Hospital.

The current Secretary of State for Health of Mato Grosso, Juliano Silva Melo, who also had the call approved by the commission, should be heard in September, in the final stage of the work. During the meeting, September 9th was initially indicated for the testimony, and the schedule could be adjusted depending on the progress of the hearings.

This Wednesday's meeting was initially scheduled to have testimonies, but those called did not attend.

Priscilla Parreira Duarte de Menezes announced that she would not attend due to a court decision that made her presence optional. Bruno Castro de Melo presented a justification informing a previously scheduled trip to São Paulo, where he will undergo consultation and medical examinations. A court decision was also mentioned that allowed him to appear before the CPI.

The Assembly's Attorney's Office informed during the meeting that it has already filed appeals against decisions that made the attendance of those summoned optional and that it should also appeal in the case of Bruno Castro de Melo.

The next ordinary meeting of the Health CPI was called for Wednesday (19), after the end of the ordinary session in the Plenary of Deliberations Deputy Renê Barbour.
